Join our team as a Sr. Global Strategic Buyer and play a key role in driving sourcing strategies that support business growth, operational excellence, and long-term supplier partnerships. In this role, you will lead strategic sourcing initiatives for assigned categories, ensuring reliable, cost-effective, and compliant supply solutions that align with company objectives.

The Sr. Global Strategic Buyer is responsible for managing the full sourcing lifecycle, including supplier development, contract negotiations, RFQ/RFP processes, cost reduction initiatives, supplier performance management, and risk mitigation strategies. You will collaborate closely with Operational Buyers and cross-functional teams to optimize total cost of ownership (TCO), strengthen supplier relationships, and support uninterrupted operations across the business.

This is an exciting opportunity for a proactive and results-driven professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys building strong partnerships while delivering measurable value.

• Conduct market intelligence and supply market analysis — capacity, technology, cost drivers, regulatory trends, competitive landscape — to inform sourcing decisions and identify new supplier opportunities.
• Lead supplier onboarding and qualification, including financial, technical, quality, sustainability, and compliance due diligence in partnership with Quality, Finance, Legal, and EHS.

• Maintain a structured contract repository with clear visibility on validity, renewals, escalations, and key obligations; proactively manage the contract pipeline to avoid expiry gaps.
